Obsidian as an indicator of inter-regional contacts and exchange: three case-studies from the Halaf period

Obsidian was used to make tools and luxury items which were widely distributed in the ancient Near East. At most sites it is an imported material and, as such, has been used as an indicator of exchange, although little specific detail of the nature of that exchange is available. Even though methods of provenance analysis for obsidian are well established, often only a few samples per site have been analysed. This means there is not enough information to indicate the relative importance of the obsidian from each source, or to establish whether source preference changed through time or whether obsidians from different sources were treated differently. The restriction in numbers analysed is, at least in part, due to the expense and the destructive nature of provenance analysis and problems associated with obtaining sufficient samples. In an attempt to address these problems case-studies examining the obsidian assemblages from three sites of Halaf date will be used to demonstrate the potential of a method of grouping obsidians based on their physical characteristics, including colour; these groupings are confirmed by geochemical analysis. This allows the entire assemblage to be grouped quickly and cost effectively and, if used alongside techno-typological and spatial studies, enables us to begin to confront some of the issues outlined above.

“…Projectile points in chalcedony were diffused up to 300 km from the deposit of Jebel al‐Ma'taradh. This was probably also the case for certain beads in carnelian; those discovered at the sites of Al Da'asa 46 and Khor (Qatar) (Smith, ; Midant‐Reynes, ) are certainly worth further study to determine their origin, which is possibly Emirati.…”

International audienceThe Jebel al-Ma'taradh and its surroundings contain exceptional deposits of lithic raw materials, including flint and chert, but especially chalcedony, agate, carnelian, and chrysoprase. These deposits were intensively exploited during the Neolithic, and some of the artefacts produced entered the trade network that included settlements on the coast and inland, sometimes as far as 300 km. During earlier periods, probably as early as the Pleistocene, only flint was used. Between the sixth and the fourth millennia, carnelian and agate were exploited to make beads, which are found in the necropolises and settlements of the UAE

“…Traditionally, the burial cairns from Qatar were only associated with two periods, 'Ubaid-related cultures of the 5 th millennium BCE (Midant-Reynes 1985;Tixier 1980), and what was considered to be a rise in population during the Seleucid to the Sasanian periods (late 1 st millennium BCE-early 1 st millennium CE) (Konishi et al 1988;Konishi et al 1994;Schreiber & Muhle 2008 unpublished data;Cuttler et al 2011;Cuttler et al 2013a;Muhle & Schreiber 2012;Kjaerum et al 2017;Madsen et al 2017a;Madsen et al 2017b;Madsen et al 2017c). The research and systematic survey conducted by the Qatar National Historic Environment Record Project (QNHER) team in 2009 in northern Qatar (Cuttler et al 2013b), firstly highlighted the presence of up to 10 burials per km 2 , suggesting that the density and number of these features is much higher than previously thought (Cuttler et al 2013a;Cuttler et al 2013b).…”

Bioarchaeology-related studies in the Arabian Gulf: potentialities and shortcomings

Archaeological studies provide a powerful tool to understand the prehistoric societies, especially when combined to cutting-edge morphological and molecular anthropological analyses, allowing reconstructing past population dynamics, admixture events, and socio-cultural changes. Despite the advances achieved in the last decades by archaeological studies worldwide, several regions of the World have been spared from this scientific improvement due to various reasons. The Arabian Gulf represents a unique ground to investigate, being the passageway for human migrations and one of the hypothesized areas in which Neanderthal introgression occurred. A number of archaeological sites are currently present in the Arabian Gulf and have witnessed the antiquity and the intensiveness of the human settlements in the region. Nevertheless, the archaeological and anthropological investigation in the Gulf is still in its infancy. Data collected through archaeological studies in the area have the potential to help answering adamant questions of human history from the beginning of the structuring of genetic diversity in human species to the Neolithisation process. This review aims at providing an overview of the archaeological studies in the Arabian Gulf with special focus to Qatar, highlighting potentialities and shortcomings.
